Lake County recently broke ground on a new 31,000-square-foot facility at 12280 County Road 448 in Tavares. The new no-kill animal shelter will feature an open-air cat porch, dog viewing site, surgery room, and a special area for animals and their potential owners to meet, according to a press release. The project is being funded by Lake County’s penny sales tax.
